Abstract:

The species Bombina variegata belongs to the family Discoglossidae from Anura order, being a common species in Romania spread at altitudes between 200-1500 m (CogĂŁlniceanu et. al., 2000).

The studies regarding the stomach content of Bombina variegata are poor in Romania (Sas et al 2004, GhiurcĂŁ et al 2005). From this point of view we aim to bring new data regarding the food of this species.

The study was undertaken in an ecosystem from the neighborhoods of Piatra NeamĂŸ town (NeamĂŸ County). The research was focused on the taxonomic groups which represent the prey of yellow-bellied toad (both the number of species and specimens), and, also, on the occurrence frequency of different categories of organisms.

Keywords:

amphibians, Bombina variegata, trophic spectrum.
